BUD - Voice-first canvas for sketchnoting and whiteboarding

by
Ideate, sketch, and edit diagrams in real time on a voice-first canvas. Speak naturally to build system architectures, flowcharts, and turn ideas into visuals.

10x faster than Claude code with Excalidraw skill No manual dragging. No long prompts. No Excalidraw skill setup. Just talk to the canvas and refine as you go.

A voice-first canvas for diagrams sounds genuinely fresh. One thing that would make it click for me is the ability to undo or branch a conversation, so if I misspoke mid-flow the diagram doesn't get wrecked and I can try a different phrasing without starting over.

 Thanks for flagging that up. Will add this functionality in the next version.

Finally a white that listens instead of making me type. Voice first is the right call!

 Thanks! We too believe voice-first is the future. Hope you enjoy it👍

As someone who has carpal tunnel syndrome, this looks really interesting to me.

 Thanks for the comment! We’ll make sure BUD lives up to your expectations.

Spoke out a quick system design and watched it appear as a clean diagram, which felt kind of magical for someone who hates dragging boxes around. Curious how it handles more complex edits though.

Thanks! glad you found it useful. BUD is equipped to has the full control of canvas and can make complex edits and diagrams as you start interacting with it. do try it out with the complex ones!

Voice-first for diagramming is an interesting bet — most whiteboard tools still assume you're reaching for a mouse first. The real test will be accuracy on technical vocabulary (service names, arrows/relationships) since that's where voice-to-diagram tools usually fall apart on system architecture use cases specifically.

 Yep! We've kept the technical vocabulary in our mind while building BUD. Do give it a try.

Would love to see an export option to PDF or PNG once the diagram is done, sometimes I need to drop the visual into a slide or doc without recreating it. Could make the handoff from voice-to-visual way smoother.

 Thanks for the feedback. Actually you can export it as a png or .excalidraw file for now just by instructing BUD to export it for you. But pdf export will be added soon.

The voice-to-diagram flow feels genuinely fast, not like a demo trick. Love how the canvas keeps up with rambling ideas instead of forcing you into rigid commands.

The voice-to-diagram flow feels really natural, like it actually understands how you'd explain a system out loud instead of forcing rigid commands. That's a hard problem to nail and the execution here looks solid.

honestly this sounds really cool for brainstorming on the fly. one thing i'd love is the ability to say something like "undo that last box" or "move this to the left" so i don't have to break out of the voice flow to fix small layout mistakes
